Federal contributions from ZIP 10018

A $1,188 mean on 23,258 Midtown lines

Divide $27,622,006 by 23,258 and the mean line is about $1,188. Midtown commercial codes often mix office letterhead with a thinner residential list than Chelsea or the Upper West Side. That $1,188 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Garment District household.

Twenty-three thousand two hundred fifty-eight itemizations is a substantial receipt list, shorter than some high-volume Manhattan neighborhood ZIPs. Repeat gifts still add rows. 23,258 is a line count, not a roster of people who live near Herald Square or Seventh Avenue.

The packet attaches no party split to $27,622,006 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 10018 with both $27,622,006 and 23,258 contributions. A higher mean than a dense residential ZIP is a prompt to inspect the largest lines.

What the 10018 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 10018 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A Seventh Avenue office, a loft, or a committee that uses 10018 on its report all feed $27,622,006 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 23,258-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. Midtown geography orients the map; it does not change the form field.

Boundaries of the $27,622,006 roll-up

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $27,622,006. New York State Board of Elections filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Cite the total only as itemized federal receipts tagged 10018, from FEC.gov.

Amended schedules can move a Midtown ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 10018 FEC page after a restatement. Two published extracts are not a contradiction until you match dates.

Ranking 10018 without stacking nearby codes

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. 10001 and 10036 may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape, not a neighborhood score from FEC.gov.

Do not add 10018 to 10001 or 10036 into a west-Midtown-plus total on this page. The file reports one key: 10018, $27,622,006, 23,258 contributions.

Where the live 10018 table sits

The ZIP 10018 FEC page holds $27,622,006 and 23,258 as currently indexed. Compare codes on the all-ZIP directory. Open the donor directory for names. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.

LobbyVault indexes the filings; it is not the filing system. Named receipts answer identity questions this 23,258-line roll-up cannot. The mean of about $1,188 is $27,622,006 divided by 23,258. Quote the pair.

Garment District mail as a Midtown key

Twenty-three thousand two hundred fifty-eight itemizations against $27,622,006 produce a mean of about $1,188. That ratio sits above many dense residential Manhattan codes. Seventh Avenue offices can lift the mean without lifting occupancy. 23,258 is not a roster of people near Herald Square. The packet has no unique-donor field.

New York State Board of Elections filings never enter $27,622,006. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Sort the ZIP 10018 FEC page by amount before treating the mean as a household story. The donor directory remains the name-level table.

Do not add 10018 to 10001 or 10036 into a west-Midtown-plus total on this page. Nearby codes may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods. Quote $27,622,006 with 23,258 contributions.

If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Compare dates. Recheck after a restatement. Keep the $1,188 mean attached to both packet facts. Midtown geography orients the map. It does not recode the form field.

Garment District mail is still a five-digit FEC key. $27,622,006 is the dollar side. 23,258 is the line side. A mean near $1,188 is a prompt to sort the live table. Neither figure is a household census of people near Herald Square. Keep both on the same citation.

Open the ZIP 10018 FEC page when you need the current extract. Open the all-ZIP directory when you need a Midtown rank against 10001 or 10036. Open the donor directory when you need a name. LobbyVault does not replace FEC.gov. Quote $27,622,006 with 23,258 contributions after any restatement.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10018?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10018 total $27,622,006 across 23,258 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Garment District residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,188 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10018?

LobbyVault counts 23,258 itemized contributions for ZIP 10018. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $27,622,006.

Does ZIP 10018 include only Garment District residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 10018 grid can be part of $27,622,006 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 23,258-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10018 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $27,622,006 and 23,258 lines for ZIP 10018. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New York State filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
